Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for flipping over U-shaped bent dough products, in particular croissants.
  • the devices disclosed in these publications are intended for flipping over rolled up dough products and may serve to bring the rolled up dough pieces in a desired position.
  • the dough products in particular croissants, not only rolled up, but bent as well, in order to create a U, C or half-moon shaped dough product.
  • these shapes will be referred to as U-shape.
  • the device according to the invention may also be used for treating L-shaped products, that is, half of a U-shape.
  • Patent AT326065 discloses in an embodiment of device for bending elongated dough products, wherein dough products after being bend are transferred from one conveyor onto another conveyor, thereby enabling the dough products to change their orientation. It is therefore a goal of the present invention to provide a device for flipping over dough products, that enables flipping over U-shaped dough products.
  • the invention thereto provides a device for flipping over U-shaped bent dough products, in particular croissants, having two legs connected by a centre portion, comprising a conveyor, for conveying the dough products in a direction of conveyance, wherein the legs of the U shape either precede or follow their centre portion, a flipping over unit, arranged above the conveyor, comprising a dough product engaging surface, for engaging the centre portion, a drive, for moving the dough product engaging surface in the direction of conveyance; a controller, for controlling the speed of the movement of the dough product engaging surface with respect to the speed of the conveyor wherein the dough product flipping over unit comprises free space for the legs of the dough products, on both sides of the flipping over unit in a direction perpendicular to the direction of conveyance, for enabling the legs of the dough product, to make a turn when the croissant is flipped.
  • the dough product engaging surface is configured for engaging the centre portion, that is, without touching the legs of the dough product, so that these can move without limitation or interaction with parts of the device, which enables flipping over the dough product without damage.
  • the dough product engaging surface in a width direction perpendicular to the direction of conveyance is smaller than 2 centimetres, and more preferably smaller than one centimetre, and in particular smaller than half a centimetre. This way, the chance that the legs of the dough product will touch the product during handling is further minimised.
  • the dough product engaging surface then only interacts with the centre portion of the dough product, which is in case of a bent croissant for example made from a triangular or trapezoid dough piece, also the highest point of the dough products when it is laying on the conveyor.
  • a string has proven to be suitable as a the dough product engaging surface, for engaging the centre portion.
  • Such string may be small enough and can easily be tensioned to exercise an optimal pressure to the dough product for flipping it over.
  • This may for instance be an endless string, stretched over at least two pulleys. This construction facilitates easily controlling the speed of the movement of the dough product flipping over unit with respect to the speed of the conveyor.
  • the free space has a height of at least 8 cm, and preferably, at least 10 cm. This allows the legs of a common bent croissant to flip without problems.
  • the controller may be configured for setting the speed of the dough product engaging surface higher in the direction than the speed of the conveyor, when the dough product is to be flipped from a position wherein its legs follow its centre portion to a position wherein its legs precede its centre portion, and for setting the speed of the dough product engaging surface lower or reverse in the direction than the speed of the conveyor, when the dough product is to be flipped from a position wherein its legs precede its centre portion to a position wherein its legs follow its centre portion.
  • the above described embodiments can comprise a single flipping over unit, but in numerous situations, dough products will be arranged in multiple lanes on the conveyor, and thereto, the device according to the invention may comprise multiple flipping over units, arranged above the conveyor, spaced in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement. In a practical embodiment, they may be positioned exactly next to each other, for instance in order to be driven by the same shaft, but an offset is also well possible.
  • the speed of the movement of the dough product engaging surface with respect to the speed of the conveyor may be controlled such that, with a given length over which the dough product engaging surface engages the product, and a given radius of the product, said product is turned half a turn, or at least more than a quarter of a turn, wherein the rest of the flipping is performed thanks to gravity.
  • Figure 1 shows a device 1 for flipping over U-shaped bent dough products 2 (A, B), in particular croissants, having two legs 21 connected by a centre portion 22, comprising a conveyor 3 , for conveying the dough products in a direction of conveyance 4, wherein the legs of the U shape initially follow (2A) their centre portion, a set of multiple flipping over units 5, arranged above the conveyor 3, comprising a dough product engaging surface 6, for engaging the centre portion 22; a drive 7, for moving the dough product engaging unit in the direction of conveyance; a controller, for controlling the speed of the movement of the dough product engaging unit with respect to the speed of the conveyor, wherein the dough product flipping over unit comprises free space 8 for the legs of the dough product, on both sides of the flipping over unit 5 in a direction perpendicular to the direction of conveyance 4, for enabling the legs 21 of the dough product, to make a turn when the croissant 2 is flipped.
  • the dough product flipping over unit comprises free space 8 for the legs of the dough product, on both sides of the flipping over unit
  • the dough product engaging surface comprises a plurality of strings 6, for engaging the centre portions 22, which strings have a size (width) smaller than 2 centimetres, preferably smaller than one centimetre, and in particular smaller than half a centimetre.
  • the strings 6 are each stretched over at least two pulleys 9, 10, having a radius of at least 8 cm, and preferably, at least 10 cm.
  • the controller is in the depicted example configured for setting the speed of the dough product engaging surface higher in the direction than the speed of the conveyor, when the dough product is to be flipped from a position wherein its legs follow its centre portion (2A) to a position wherein its legs precede its centre portion (2B).
  • Figure 2 shows a front view of the device 1 from figure 1 , comprising a set of multiple flipping over units 5, arranged above the conveyor, spaced in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement, for flipping over dough products 2 arranged in multiple lanes C, D, E, F, G on the conveyor.
  • Figure 3 shows a detailed side view of the set of flipping over units 5. Visible is how the croissant 2 is flipped over and how its legs 21 can freely move in the spaces 8.
